Antifa Turkeesian posted:Is this getting any positive play with old people or people who are politically disengaged? I'm kind of worried that a lot of white Americans have latent bootlicking tendencies that come out when they see protest or are asked to love police and the flag. What I'm seeing on Twitter is that people who dislike or disagree with the protestors are completely on board.

Wasn't this, or something very similar, seen happening in some other places over the past couple months? I remember seeing a video from I want to say San Francisco, of something very similar in this thread a few weeks back.

SidneyIsTheKiller posted:Yeah, the most chilling thing was I figured that his parents were the only people Trump has any kind of respect for, but turns out he doesn't even have that. He literally doesn't care for anyone. IIRC based on what I heard, the book goes into how Donald made fun of Fred's dementia towards the end of his life, to boot. Yeah, he literally has respect and empathy for no one. He's pure evil.

I read a sports forum full of chuds and saw one response that this is a good thing because BLM and antifa are terrorist organizations. Then somone came along and posted that Intercept article about the leaked documents showing police knew that right wing extremists were the real danger at protests, to which the first guy responses "who cares?" there's literally no reasoning with these people

Blind Rasputin posted:Man, I never knew that about Train but it makes so much sense, you know? Like they’ve been around so long and are always taking it in and.. I mean they’re a nobody. No one would ever even like be paying attention to them? poo poo, this stuff about a cabal of major record labels laundering millions of dollars in cartel money through “album sales of the band Train” for 20-odd years is Eye Opening. I'm familiar enough with your posting to be relatively certain this is bait/tongue-in-cheek. I still want to slap you through the internet. Good job.

Where you said the scientists are more concerned about notoriety than saving lives. Which is pretty stupid in itself, but exceptionally stupid when you're talking about a university vaccine research group.

I've gotta say that the number of bootlickers I've seen that are OK with unmarked paramilitary forces grabbing people off the street into rented vehicles is distressing. You should be firmly against this poo poo even if you believe the BS that they're domestic terrorists and not peaceful protestors. And they're the same people that think that they'd take a principled stand against fascism. Sorry for the derail but its really broken my soul as of late, and I'm in a poo poo mood because of it.
